*** I am an active duty Marine, and any opinion expressed on this show is my own and is not military regulation or policy. ***

• Jack Reedy ***Any opinion expressed is my own and not of any organization I am a part of***
  • Enlisted into the Marine Corps in 2009.
  • 0651: Data Systems Administrator & 0689: Information Assurance Technician

  • His experiences with leadership, not just him in those roles, but leaders he had as well.
• Advice for Military transitioning out:
  • Remember, you’re worth it. We constantly build value around what we do within a workplace environment, and transitioning can be especially rough.
  • Don’t be afraid to leave the government umbrella and not use the security clearance.
  • Build a professional network.
  • Emerge yourself in the culture of whatever you choose to do so that you can pick up those skill sets.
